The cops are at my door!

Thanks. Watching the rebuttal now.

You know, cops are just regular people doing their job. Some of them aren't very good at their job, some are. Just like any other profession, you have good and bad. Hopefully when you have to deal w/ one, you get to deal w/ a good one. Most of them aren't going to go digging for something to bust you on if you aren't doing anything wrong. No body is perfect, just don't put certain inperfections in the cops' faces.

Alright. I remember now. They were in a mall and
got in trouble, as I recall.

Great video. And while I like cops, even while
talking to just one I'm out numbered.

They found you from a post on an internet forum?

Just to clear the air-ha ha- they in the mall is SE

NCCHIEF...thank you for being a law enforcement officer. We don't get too many chances to thank those who risk their lives on a daily basis so we can live in a somewhat civilized society. We know police are humans and as such make mistakes. But most of us also realize that for every mistake or abuse of power committed by the police there are hundreds of other stories of law enforcement officers losing their lives for our benefit. Tell your compatriots on the force, that the majority of the public is very grateful for your service!

Hey any cop who likes Family Guy is probably alright in my book.

I wanted to ask Ncchief, in the case of the OP -- what if Oregon decides on further legislation that completely outlaws ecigs, or even just ejuice. Don't they now have probable cause to obtain a warrant for his premises since the officer who interviewed him has seen the now outlawed equipment?

Thanks Ken,

21+ years of service and I have unfortunately seen my share of "bad apples" in departments. When one screws up, it hurts us all.

Thanks for your support

Good question. Since I am not familiar with Oregon law, it is going to be hard for me to give you an accurate answer. In NC however, I would have to say no. Just because I arrested John Doe in his home for having ....... last week, does not give me PC to get a warrant to search it this week. My advice to the OP (if Oregon did make ecigs/ejuice illegal)....Don't talk to the Police!

Ditto that! While I deal with the public every day, the worst I can do to them is cut off their phone or write them a big bill. Still, I get lies and abuse occasionally. Or the famous words "He won't bite". The S**t you guys have to take is much worst. I can walk away at any time, but you have to stick it out. I respect all police for their dedication if nothing else.

So I get a knock on the door this evening.. it is a city police officer. He tells me that somebody tipped the police that I was blogging about harmful electronic cigarette chemicals (Dipropylene Glycol (Fragrance Grade (DPGF))) and I was talking about how to mix the liquid etc.. TRUE STORY.

I showed him my old e cigarette and showed him the liquid and how the whole thing worked. He seemed impressed and told me that if it was illegal, which it is not, it would be out of his jurisdiction anyway. I explained to him how the chemicals are non-toxic food preservatives (PG) and water. He seemed slightly embarrassed and left.

Since my name is not anywhere in my profile, nor my address, and the only identifiable part of this blog is "gtmason" (and my location and avatar pic)... I knew immediately that the only one who would call the police about this is a person from my past who must really have a vendetta against me (to spend so much time online searching blogs for my username) trying to find dirt. What a waste of resources and time for the poor guy, he could have been off busting meth labs or arresting drunk drivers.

I bet I am the only person in the US that has ever almost been arrested over electronic cigarettes. LOL

I have been smoke free since April 5th 09 and I couldn't have quit without the ecig.

I guess your Police Department doesn't have much to do these days. What have you been downloading?????

[ProfessorDaffy]

I respect stalkers. How much dedication does it take to surf the ENTIRE internet just to hastle one person! Where do they find the time. Heck, between work and trying to find the best prices for e-juice, my schedule is booked!

P.S. I couldn't effectively stalk anyone, even if they had a GPS tracking device scotch taped to their forehead. Just not enough hours in the day I guess.
